Yes, the Sprenger bits are ALL awesome. I have one, with the “regular” lozenge not the French Link, in Aurigan and it has held up really well.
Unfortunately it is too big for my new baby mare and I had to try some other options.
The Horses and More looks very compatible, and as she matures she can transfer into something pricier.
(They ALWAYS seem to graduate to something pricier 😉 )

We used this Herm Sprenger bit on both our lower level dressage horses. They were fantastic, horses loved them. I have a lot of horse stuff in my tack room and now that my horse is gone it won’t get used again. Maybe ebay is the answer to that dilema!

I do think the Spenger Flex Control will last longer than Happy Mouth, but keep in mind that the Sprenger is more bit, with that I mean it’s quite heavy compared to happy mouth as it’s not made of plastic. The rubber looks very strong and hard and so far I can see no sign of us on it. But it’s true that the rubber part is in a place in the mouth where there are no sharp tooth’s so…I guess you are talking about a normal 3 joint Happy Mouth, and I have heard that they usually breaks in the middle joint or you have to change them quite often as horses that tend to champ a lot makes markes/imprint in the plastic that can later hurt. Again, it´s hard to know how horses react to different bits.

Yes, talking about the regular happy mouths, which are much lighter.
My mare chomped it through in some 5 weeks or so.
Using this kind copper bit as baby but now. Hoping it will do her well for a long time. .
